.MATERIAL AND LABOR GO UP
Frioei fot Building iiranse on All Sort of
Commodities and Work.
jSOME CONSTRUCTION THEREFORE PUT OFF
HaUding that On Year Ago Would
Coat Fifty Thousand Dollars
'. Would Kow Come to
81y Thousand.
All building materials are higher In price
than they were laat summer and the price
of labor has correunondlngly Increased.
Lumber la 18 per cent higher, iron 10 to 15
M per cent higher, labor 10 per cent higher,
cement per cent higher, brick 5 per cent
higher on some grade this tells the tale
of the Increased cost of construction this
summer. One man who figured last year
that he could put up a building for 50,0
made his computations on last year's
prices. This summer he found the same
structure would cost him W0.0OO and he has
decided not to build.
Naturally the prospective bulkier is most
Impressed with the high price of lumber,
that article being the first thing to be con
sidered. The lumber dealers are not willing
to shoulder all the responsibility for the
Increased cost of building and are willing
to point out to their customers the facts
with itgard to other building factors.
The lumber used in a $00,000 building
would, on the average, amount to $8,000
to $10,000, say the lumber men. Fifteen
per cent ot this amount would not begin
to account tor the $10,000 added cost In
the last year to a building which could
have been erected 'last summer for $50,000.
Iron and Cement Go I p.
A leading firm of contractors said that
while they paid 16 per ont more for lum
ber than last year, they had to pay 10 to
15 per cmt more for iron. Quotations on
Portland cement at one time last sum
mer were $1.37 a barrel, while this sum
mer i2 Is asked. They have to pay t cents
more an hour to bricklayers and carpenter.
Forty cents a day additional to each man
SALT RHEUM OH HANDS

V Bandages All th Time.
of the number required for several weeks'
work on a $50,000 building would make
a difference of perhaps $2,000, say the
contractors. Brick of the better grades
is higher than a year ago.
The law of supply and demand is cited
as the reason why both labor and material
are higher. There Is so much building all
over the country that laborers are scarce
and lumber and iron mills cannot turn out
enough material to supply the demand. In
addition to the fact that there is an
enormous demand for lumber, the mills of
Louisiana were hampered by wet weather
all spring and have cut less than the
usual output. Those in the northwest
started the season with a small supply on
hand, and though working their full ca
paclty, have been unable to All all orders.
Lumber men say the cost of material
does not seem to curtail building operations
In the least. The country Is enjoying such
an era of prosperity that large numbers of
buildings will be erected regardless ot
cost.
BUT THE PURSE IS NOT FOUND
ANOTHER CURE BY CUTICURA
Another cure by Cutlcnra is told of
by Mrs. Caroline Cable, of Waupoca,
Vis., in the following grateful let
ter: "My husband suffered agony
with salt .rheum on his hands,
and I bad to keep them bandaged all
the time. We tried everything we
. a . . . : i i i i.:
wntil he used Cuticura. One set of
Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills
cured him entirely , and his hands have
been as smooth as possible ever since.
I do hope this Utter wiU be the means
of kclplo j fcotue other mflwer."
Police Search Halt a Dosen Young
Spartans for Woman's Miss
ins; Pocket book.
Mrs. M. A. Plumb of Sheldon, la., who Is
In Omaha attending the camp rtieetlng of
the Seventh Day Adventlsts, felt hungry for
fruit yesterday afternoon. Bhe paused at a
stand at Sixteenth and Dodge streets and
bought what her appetite craved. She
picked up the fruit and walked away, but
left her pocketbook, holding $25, lying on
the comer of the stand. After walking two
blocks she discovered her loss and retraced
her steps.
At the fruit stand the persons In charge
professed to be Ignorant of the Incident,
but Mrs. Plumb got the Impression that a
bootblack from the shining shoo of John
Beshllas, 101 North Sixteenth street, knew
something about it.
The proprietor of the shop and the six
boys it employs are Greeks and some of the
youngsters are Just learning English. Find
ing herself unable to make any progress
Mrs. Plumb summoned Patrolman Cunning
ham. Beshllas objected to letting the offi
cer enter the shop and quls the boys on
the grounds that the boy In particular who
was accused and one other did not know
English and might answer yes hen they
meant the contrary. This was too much
for the officer, who telephoned for the
patrol wagon. The Greek and his helpers
were taken to the station and searched, but
nothing was discovered to fix the theft of
the purse. ,
It developed, however, thst Beshllas has
a peculiar system for getting bootblacks.
The parents of all the lads still lire' In
Greece and the boys were brought to the
t'nlted States by other relatives. They have
been turned over to Beshllas, who came to
Omaha about two months ago. He says he
pays them "by the year," but provides
their food, clothes and lodging and allows
them no money except what they get In
tips. He did not say how much was turned
over to each youngster at the end of the
yoar. He denied that the boys were under
contract and said they were free to leave
htm when they choose. Some are over 10
years and all are bright and Intelligent.
The police were unable to recover- th
pocketbook.
BOY ESCAPES. KIDNAPERS
Youth is Seized bj Mother and Unols, but
Finally Qeti Away.
EXCITING SCENE ENACTED ON STREET
Police Warn Would-Be Abductors
that Hepetitton of the Act
Might Land Them
in Prison.
John Dlekamper, a well grown boy of 16
years, was kidnaped In broad daylight by
his mother and brother, and saved him
self after being dragged half a block by
clinging to a lamp post at the corner of
Fourteenth street and Capitol avenue. So
tightly did he cling to the pole that his
uncle could not pry him loose before a
crowd gathered and attracted Superinten
dent Morris of the Associated Charities.
Young Dlekamper told the superintendent
that he did not wish to go with his cap
tors, but that he desired to remain with
a guardian appointed by the juvenile court.
Morris assumed charge of the case and
took the whole party before Probation Offi
cer Bernstein, who arrested Mrs. Dlekam
per and the brother, John Holbert, a
farmer, living in Indiana. It was proposed
to file charges against them, accusing them
of contempt of court and abduction, but
they were released after talking with Po
lice Captain Mostyn, who advised them
that a repetition ot the forcible measures
probably would land them behind the bars.
Boy Evades His Mother.
Young Dlekamper lives with Miss Anna
Dailey at 215 North Fourteenth, to whom
he was officially committed by the Juvenile
court a short time ago. The boy. It Is
said, does not care to have anything to do
with his mother. He and his guardian say
tbey have boen annoyed by agents of Mrs.
Dlekamper for nearly a year, various ef
forts being made to secure his custody, all
of then unsuccessful. 1
The lad had gone out on the street to
buy a bowl of soup for a man in the house
who was sick and had Just reached the
gate on his return, when his mother, Hoi-
bert and another woman swept down upon
him and dragged him away. The soup
was spilled in the dirt and some small
coins carried by the boy lost In the scuffle.
The trio got him only as far as the corner,
and, despite his Objections, were about to
call a cab, when Superintendent Morris
made the rescue. Holbert admitted to Mor
ris that It was the Intention to get the
boy out of the city as rapidly as possible.
Something was said of property which the
lad Is to Inherit and the superintendent
thinks the teal of possession ot him may
be accounted for thereby.
Miss Dallry's Statement.
Miss Dailey says: 'In 1900 Mrs. Dle
kamper came here with John and obtained
lodging and board from me. She was
doing dining-room work at the time and
ottered to pay me $2 a week to care for
and board John. We are not related.
She left him iere and continued the pay
ments tor about two years and then
stopped them. I sent John to the Cass
street school and have taken care of him
since. About a year ago the woman first
started U fet hold ot him, but I enlisted
the aid of Miss Simons, principal of the
Cass school and have kept him. Not long
ago the JuvenJle court placed him In my
charge, this being brought about by the
efforts of his relatives to get him. Mrs.
Dlekamper is not a good woman and is
not fit to have him in custody. The boy
wants to stay here. I think the story
about the property is a myth. The woman
used to tell the boy that he would get
$1,000 when he was twenty-one, but I do
not place any reliance in thlB."
Young Dlekamper told the reporters
that he did not want to have anything to
do with the relatives, and preferred to
stay with Miss Dailey. He offered to show
the papers of the Juvenile court committing
him to her care. He has the reputation of
being well-behaved.
TESTIMONY INjSEC0ND CASE
Depositions Are Taken in Action
Fendlncr Against Tom Dennison
in District Court.
In court room No. 2 of the district court
the taking of testimony in the form of de
positions In the second case against Tom
Dennison was concluded Thursday after
noon. Bob O'Callahan testified that he knew
Shercllffe In the Iowa penitentiary and
that he was to get money for testifying
In the trial against Dennison. Frank Glabb

count that Tom and John Dennison had
made out at the request of Shercllffe, who
said he wished It to show to his mother.
James Jordan, a bookmaker, 73 yers of
age, said he had seen Shercllffe In Denver,

In the west who had a large number of
diamonds which she said that Shercllffe had
given to her.

DEATH DUE TO THUNDER PEAL
Yoanff Woman Succumbs to Shock
Following an Especially- bosi
Crash.
A, sad Incident In connection with the
heavy thunder storm of Thursday night,
which while not the direct, was the contrib
uting cause of the death of Miss Mary
Carey at her home, 5V) South Twenty
eighth street. Miss Carey has been an In
valid from tuberculosis for several months
and was confined to her bed only a couple
of days prior to Thursday night's storm.
While her condition was serious, it was
not regarded as Immediately critical Thurs
day evening. When the especially violent
crash of thunder came about t o'clock Miss
Carey rose partly in her bed In fright and
the shock caused a hemorrhage of the lungs
from which she expired In a very tew moments.
Western railroads and stocx growers are
planning to move against the twenty
eight hour law as It now stands In the
regulations for the shipment of live stock
In the matter of feed and water of stock
In transit.
The western roads malntaiaj that the reg
ulations, even with the modifications as
announced by Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of
the bureau of animal Industry, and ap
proved by Secretary Wilson, were devised
more to accommodate eastern roads than
the roads of the west, which haul the range
cattle. The eastern roads haul, so It Is
claimed, the more select cattle from Chi
cago to New York and it Is no hardship
on them to load but fourteen or sixteen to
a car and give them plenty of room to lie
down, but on the western roads it Is al
together different and would cost the ship
per from $18 to $25 more per car if com
plied with.
Congressman Mondell of Wyoming Is In
teresting himself In the matter for the
western cattle raisers and the question will
be placed before congress when it convenes.
The law has been In effect for some time,
but the rigid enforcement has been required
only since July 1.
A Northwestern official said:
"We look upon the law as unreasonable,
still we know the government Is enforcing
It and has men at ail turns, so we are obey-,
lng the letter of the law strictly."
Try for an Extension.
The National Live Stock association at
tempted to have the time extended to
forty hours, but this was looked upon as
unreasonable, and the railroad men seem
to think It may be extended to thirty-two
or thirty-four hours, which will give am
ple time for most any haul.
John Eyler, live stock agent of the Bur
lington, said the railroads were watching
closer than ever and that all Infringements
were guarded against.
Sudden Attack of l)enterr Cured,
A prominent lady of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
writes to Inquire where she can obtain
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Bhe siys: "While stopping at a
ranch In South Dakota I was taken 111 ot
what seemed to be cholera. They gave me
some of this medicine and it cured me. I
brought a bottle home and have just used
the last of It today. Mother was taken sud
denly ill of d sentry aud it helped her immediately."
11c the following communication from Dr.
Salmon and Indicated that he had approved
the changes suggested:
The Secretary of Agrlcult ure Sir: Re
ferring to my recommendation, approved
by you as printed In circular, dated July
2, 1K05, In regard to the attitude to be taken
by the department with reference to the
twenty-elght-hour law In the matter of
feeding, resting and watering live stock In
transit, I have the honor to withdraw that
recommendation and to recommend that
until further orders, any cars equipped
with feeding and watering facilities may
be used for the shipment of cattle without
unloading, provided the cattle can and do
receive food and water en route, and that
the number of cattle loaded In a car be
left to the shippers, but that such loading
shall not exceed the minimum weight as
provided In the classification of the trans
portation companies. Very reapeotf ully,
D. E. SALMON, fhief of Bureau.
Approved: JAMES WILSON. Secretary.

WILSOX MODIFIES THE ORDER
Stock that Can Be Fed and Watered
En Route Xeed ot Be I nloaded.
' WASHINGTON. Aug. 18-Serretary Wil
son returned to Washington today from
Chicago, where he conducted an Investiga
tion of complaints against the new regula
tions governing the shipment of stock under
the twenty-eight-hour law.
The secretary, In response to an Inquiry
whether he will ask congress tor a modifi
cation of the law in order to give the
shippers and railroads the relief they de
mand, said he was inclined to think the
